Kyaw is a 39-year-old Burmese man. A while ago, he was working on a construction site in Thailand where a heavy piece of metal fell on his back and injured him. Due to his tough financial situation, Kyaw was not able to receive the level of medical care that he needed. A fracture in his spine soon developed into paraplegia, leaving him without the use of his legs.
Due to his paraplegia, Kyaw spends much of his time in the same position. As a result, he has developed bed sores which require surgery to treat. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $851 to fund his procedure, which is scheduled to take place on June 27.
Kyaw is looking forward to his surgery because it will allow him to rest comfortably again.

Kyaw underwent bed sore treatment.
Before Kyaw received the operation, his wound was very painful. He could not sit, and it was very difficult for him to move or do his work at home. After the operation, he feels no more pain and can sit as normal. He can do his daily work and he can help his family.
Kyaw said, “I want to work at a petrol station. I just want a secure job with a stable income so I can support my family financially.”
